A dog managed to steal a piece of meat from a resident's home. He ran with it to his nest. "I will enjoy this delicious meat in my house," he thought.
Then, the dog walked until finally arrived at the edge of a river. He had to cross the river to his house.
Looking at the surface of the river, the dog saw another dog in the water that was also biting a piece of meat. He did not know that the dog in the water was his own shadow. The dog's greed made him think the piece of meat the dog bites in the water is bigger.
"Well, that dog has bigger meat than my flesh. I have to seize it, he thought.
He scared the dog in the water to drop the flesh. But the dog in the water frightened him and did not drop his flesh.
Dogs keep trying to scare him. But the dog in the water furiously avenged him.
The dog was angry. He lunged into the water to attack. That's when the meat in his mouth loose and carried the river flow.
The dog in the water also turns out to lose its flesh. Now, the greedy dog does not get two pieces of meat, it loses its flesh.
